M3 Scout car
M3 Scout car
Been picking away at this for a couple of weeks - figured it would be a simple model to do as a break from "death by a thousand rivets" that was the Panhard 178 I was working on previously
(Seriously France, what is it with the lack of symmetry on your AFV's!?!!? Every panel is at a different angle and has a different rivet pattern!)

Re: M3 Scout car
Great! Now you will experience "death by a hundred bolts" 
This is one of my favotite armorured cars, especially since my dad owned 1/6 scale version until it was sold.

That looks great, Martin. This is the one I've been waiting for. I plan to print this in both 1/16 and 1/6 scale. I'm just hoping that the tires and rims from The ROC Jeep will be something close to the correct size for one of these in 1/6 scale. And if not, I'll print my own.

Re: M3 Scout car
I'm only going to use the WPL motor, leaf springs and JJRC axles (and they will have to be cut down and rehoused).
Re: M3 Scout car
What made you decide to go with the jjrc axles? I know they have a true differential, but as far as I know they're only available in plastic. Do you think they'll have the stones for the job?

Re: M3 Scout car
For the 1/6 version I'm going to try to wait and just let Wayne tell me what axles to buy.
